Trench Monsters to Know at Saturday’s PRZ Dakotas Showcase

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Its time to start previewing the talent that will be at our Prep Redzone Dakotas Showcase. To those that haven't signed up yet, you can still sign up until Midnight tonight at the link below. We start off our next few days of previews with the some of a few trench monsters I look forward to watching on Saturday. I scanned thru a bunch of tape today, and these six are six of many that I will be watching closely on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Showcase Link</strong>: https://events.prepredzone.com/e/1487/register/combine-series-dakotas</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Code:</strong> WahlCombine25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1328151"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a604"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anthony was on my first team All-Camp Team at our winter showcase in Aberdeen, as he is one my pre-camp nominees for DL MVP on Saturday. The 6'2 290 pound defensive tackle from Bismarck, showed off outstanding power in his hands in the reps I watched last winter and possesses the athletic bend and twitch off the snap which certianly translates to the next-level. He also catched my attention on tape with his short-area vision as a run-stuffer and packs a mightly punch when he makes contact. In what is a stacked 2027 DL class, I feel Anthony could be a stockriser this weekend in Aberdeen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/Anthony_M50_">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1601729"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a66b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the most intriguing 2028 defensive linemen out of South Dakota is [player_tooltip player_id='1601729' first='Thiik' last='Lual'] out of Tea Area, who at this time is our DL1 in the SD 2028 class. This young man brings elusiveness and position flexibiity on the defensive line and plays with a motor that carries seems like he has a chip on his shoulder when getting downhill to the ball carrier. His instinctive it something I will be watching for on Saturday as it shows quickly developing upside in this freshmen class in my eyes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/ThiikLual">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1320050"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a6b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fresh off his first offer from Northwestern (IA), the 6'0 260 pounder from Brandon Valley is one that I like as a potential riser up our 2026 board this Saturday. His pinning ability he has in pass-protection intrigues me as Callister also possesses well-versed pad level from the reps I saw from his junior season. I also will be watching to see how much he has improved with his foot speed from his junior season with the Lynx, as that fluidity looks high in the upside category even though there surely is sound instincts at his disposal. I look for Callister to be one of the top-tier offensive linemen in the group on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/wiesecal16">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1314685"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a6fd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A 2027 defensive linemen that intrigued me from our last update that will be in Aberdeen on Saturday, is Fargo South's [player_tooltip player_id='1314685' first='Kullen' last='Cooper']. His tape is on the lighter end, but watching his quick twitch off the snap at 6'2 220 pound looks impressive in my eyes. I can gauge that Kullen surely has a quick game-speed and is still figuring out how instinctive he is when getting off his blocks. A 2027 prospect that landed inside our top 20 overall as a newcomer last update, that's best game is ahead of him and we hope to see glimpses of it this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/KullenCooper">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1665681"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a742"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is very few 6'3 225 pound athletes in the Dakotas that run a 11.12 in the 100 meter dash, which Anthony does as a defensive end that we will be watching closely in Aberdeen on Saturday. He shows off a wirey and firey first step but I will be watching close during Indy and 1v1s to see how fast he gets off his blocks as that is an upside for him that I will have my eyes on this weekend. Not only does Anthony have the speed I like, he surely comes off as a defensive end that can get to the edges of the inside box and go make a play which shows me the high motor this young man plays with that will be another watch I will want to get in the live eval on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/HaydenBialas">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1649621"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-681bdb5e7a786"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another defensive end this time in the 2027 class from Tea Area, that flashed on tape when I ran thru this group is [player_tooltip player_id='1649621' first='Hayden' last='Bialas']. The 6'3 205 pounder looks to have long arms which I will be intrigued to see where his wingspan ends up pre-testing as I like what I see from tape. The agility doesn't take long to see getting off blocks, as Hayden has swift movement with his hands by winning with position leverage. Anthony also has the twitch off the edge that intrigued as I surely feel this 2027 defensive end will likely be a newcomer to our 2027 rankings that I need to add after our Dakotas Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/HaydenBialas">Twitter</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
